“Quick dinner”

Dropped in with friends and family (6 persons) to eat a quick dinner. Service was excellent, and the food was served quickly. I ordered a pizza with Italian ham and arugula. Unfortunately they had cut the pizza before serving it, which made the crust soaking wet instead of crunchy. Also the crust...read more

We stopped here on a Friday night on our way to another restaurant. We sat at the bar and had a cocktail, their menu looks really yummy. We both had the Basil Supreme cocktail, wow, was it good. We will definitely be going back for dinner soon. We stepped upstairs to use the restrooms and peeked at the outdoor patio,...

I may not be an expert on Italian food but growing up Italian, living there for years and traveling there frequently does give me some experience. I can tell you from my experience that the food at Farina is authentic and it is as good as any of my favorite spots in Italy. My father ordered the spaghetti with pesto...

A small place in the Mission District that seems to fill quickly and the noise level expands to fill the place. Superb service with a wonderful wine list (all Italian varietals!) and service that is attentive yet not obtrusive. The Mandilli is superb as well as the Ravioli, all ingredients hand crafted in the restaurant.

Given that Farina Pizza is down the street, I wouldn't go here unless you're a real pasta aficionado and you've got a big budget. The food, particularly the pasta, is tasty. The environment is modern and spacious. But it's pricey. I would go with a group of 4 or more, so you can check out more of the wine selection...

Pros: Nice interior, good wines, plenty of food options including fresh pastas.
Cons: Service needs improvement, dishes were under-seasoned and were off on execution this particular evening.
The interior of this restaurant is beautiful and there is great potential here. Plenty of items on the menu sounded great, but missed on execution. All three entrees at our table were under-seasoned...

Neighborhood Profile

Mission District

From burritos to bicyclists, the Mission is the foundation for all things hip in the city. Cultural attractions, an independent arts community, sumptuous street murals and a high density of bars and cafes make this neighborhood a magnet for young people. While terrific inexpensive food is abundant, its top-of-the-line restaurants now compete with the city’s best for fashionable diners. Indulge as the locals do by heading to Mission Dolores Park, buy some ice cream, and savor one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the country.
